Does Aider work with Standard Compute?

Yes. Aider supports a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, so it works with Standard Compute. Set the base URL to https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1, paste your API key, and set the model to "standardcompute".

What base URL do I use for Aider?

Use https://api.stdcmpt.com/v1 as the OpenAI-compatible base URL in Aider, with your Standard Compute API key and the model "standardcompute".

Do I need to change my code or model names?

No. The request and response format is identical to OpenAI's, and "standardcompute" is a single model identifier that routes to the best frontier model for each request — so you never pick or update model names.

Where to set them in Aider

The exact spot Aider keeps its OpenAI-compatible base URL.

Set OPENAI_API_BASE to the Base URL and OPENAI_API_KEY to your key.
Run with the model flag: aider --model openai/standardcompute.
(Or set them in your ~/.aider.conf.yml.)

Why point Aider at Standard Compute

The base-URL swap is the easy part — here's what you get on the other side.

Unlimited compute, flat price

No per-token billing or usage caps. One predictable monthly price, however hard your agent runs.

Frontier models, auto-routed

standardcompute routes each request to the best frontier model — you never pick or update model names.

Nothing to rewrite

Identical OpenAI request/response format. Swap the base URL and key; your code stays exactly the same.
